Serious HD coming to Xbox 360 on January 13

Oh, you thought that the Xbox 360 was already HD? Think again! Serious Sam HD: The First Encounter has gone gold and scheduled to be available on XBLA starting January 13, 2010.

I've been playing the PC version for the past week and have been having a blast. You can expect a review up on Gaming Nexus soon. The same 15 levels of chaos that contain an epic amount of creatures to shoot are back from the original, but this time in beautiful HD.

If you haven't been to the game's web site, check it out. It's full of humor and infomercial goodness that includes testimonials. Get ready to get Serious in HD next month. For an idea of what to expect, check out this before and after picture!

Majesco Entertainment today announced that Serious Sam HD: The First Encounter has gone gold and will be available for download on Xbox LIVE Arcade starting January 13, 2010. In celebration of the announcement, Majesco is providing a stunning beauty shot of Sam 'Serious' Stone, which showcases him in all his bad A@# glory.

Developed by the legendary Croteam and produced by Devolver Digital, Serious Sam HD: The First Encounter is a graphically enhanced version of Serious Sam: The First Encounter. The game follows everyone's favorite quippy gun-toting hero as he frantically battles his way through 15 levels of bedlam. Sam will take on the seemingly never-ending onslaught of enemies around every corner with one of the most powerful arsenals in the history of gaming, including demon-stopping revolvers, lead-spewing miniguns and monstrous cannons for when he absolutely, positively, has to kill every enemy in sight.
